Treasures From Our Tradition Old customs fade slowly, and in 1560 the Council of Trent tried for significant change in pastoral care of the sick. People resisted, thinking that the last breath was the right time for the sacrament. Although physical improvement was often noted after anointing, it was seen as a kind of bonus, rather than an expected outcome of a prayer for good health, strength, patience, and even healing. More than four hundred years later, many people still do not ask for anointing until it is literally too late for the person to have reasonable hope of healing, or at least be aware enough to participate in the ritual. By then, it may even be too late for viaticum, the true “last rite.” We have a treasure in our tradition that we seem reluctant to use. We visit the sick, we anoint those who are in the first crisis of illness, we give Communion to those who are dying, and we keep vigil and pray for those close to death. When anointing is celebrated early enough, optimally when the sick person is still at Sunday Mass, it can be a source of courage, faith, and hope for a difficult road ahead. When we anoint our sick, we remind them that they belong to Christ and a community of faith. We bring them into the presence of Christ to reconcile, heal, and give strength and hope. We resist forces that isolate and alienate the sick; the symbol of touch is a powerful act of acceptance. Why wait until the crisis of illness is dire before we apply such a rich remedy to body and soul?

Have they already fallen by the wayside? Or are you on your way to adopting a healthy new habit that will last a while? Typically, New Year’s resolutions are geared toward improving our physical health, but it is just as important to take care of our spiritual well-being. I was talking to Fr. Bill recently and he mentioned that he starts his day by reading the daily prayer at this website: http://www.sacredspace.ie/ He pointed out that it is helpful to begin the day by being centered on God’s word before his day gets too busy. You might want to visit this website to read the brief prayer each morning or a page in a book of day-by-day prayers, or pray a decade of the Rosary while commuting. Whatever you choose to do to take care of your spiritual health, give yourself a few weeks to allow it to become a habit. Once you get to that point, you avoid the struggle to fit daily prayer and conversation with God into your active life. Happy New Year! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Daily Mass Schedule Jan 19 Jan 20 Wanda Kopacz Kelly Longo R.I.P. R.I.P. To Visit the Sick In the Gospel, Jesus reminds us His followers we are to be servants of all. Visiting the sick to bring the Eucharist, as well the love, prayers and the support of the OLM community is one vital way to serve, to connect those who are not able to be with us at Sunday Mass.
